Default Public apology

Let this be a forum apology if I riled up a few forum friends with my post. In retrospect, perhaps I should have kept my mouth shut and PM'd the seller. I have bought and sold about 16 collector cars and never hoped to recover what I put into them. All except one sold for a lot less than my perceived value. A big part of my enjoyment out of this hobby is tinkering with what improvements can be made and eventually finding success with that. Most of the time, the installation process goes way beyond what should have been but I love getting under the hood with a wrench. I don't expect to get paid for that.
My lovely bride reminded me of when I posted a car for sale at another forum and someone hijacked the thread saying his friend had a similar car for sale for $3000 less. I was pissed. Although I did not say that here, my statements could have sounded like that. So, I retract my statement and sincerely apologize to the seller, and to anyone offended by my posts. A major part of this hobby for me is making good friends, not enemies.
Cheers!
